It all couldn't have played out better for Romney. Obama inherits the "titanic" ....Congress sits on their collective hands and passes the least amount of bills, and uses the most amount of filibusterer in recorded history and then blames Obama for no progress.....this was the only way Romney could ever get elected President coming off the shitty job he did as Governor.

The issue with that fantasty land platform is that a large number of people are idiots and will vote for this wonderful utopia ushered in by a Mormon and some dude who wants to control every vagina in the country, but in the fun kinky kind of way.

And that's not to say I think Obama has done a bang up job, I'm a realist. I'd give him a C+/B- grading on a curve. But when you have a majority of congress being completely against compromise then you have a serious problem.

Also, people who cast their votes based upon a promise to lower wealth folks taxes are insane. That money the rich would save doesn't trickle down immediately, if ever. It goes into Cayman Island accounts or into additions to a house, or a new car, or into the stock market. But it rarely trickles down.

And plus, the fact that congress refuses to realize that stall tactics regarding debt/spending/taxes, etc. will send the world into another economic downturn. Their inaction affects the psyche's of people who want to invest. If it turns into a fire sale because people don't want to lose what they have in the market...well we're all fucked.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's another revolutionary/civil war, centered in D.C. & NYC in the next 15 years.

@BS1: Yep. Make sure the little one gets the best education possible. And that she can shoot. That's her generations only hope.

Section 40 wrote:How about the Warren-Brown battle? The only person alive who could be more smug than Deval Patrick is Fauxahontas. She's gonna stop us from getting "hammered"... Right. Scott Brown all the way.

Big talk from her camp, but I still don't know what the fuck she stands for. I don't like Scott Brown, he seems...fake. But I don't think she unseats him.

They are all fake.. and as you stated I have no idea what Warren stands for but it doesn't really matter because I wouldn't vote for her in a thousand years. She won't acknowledge that she claimed being a minority ("indian" for those who haven't heard) to get a high profile job and then, after she got the job, she changed her tune. I've never heard any such b.s. ever being said about Brown and though he seemingly almost wants to please everyone you can't do that. He should still crush her.

RYAN: Said Obama misled people in Ryan's hometown of Janesville, Wis., by making them think a General Motors plant there threatened with closure could be saved. "A lot of guys I went to high school with worked at that GM plant. Right there at that plant, candidate Obama said: 'I believe that if our government is there to support you ... this plant will be here for another hundred years.' That's what he said in 2008. Well, as it turned out, that plant didn't last another year."THE FACTS: The plant halted production in December 2008, weeks before Obama took office and well before he enacted a more robust auto industry bailout that rescued GM and Chrysler and allowed the majority of their plants — though not the Janesville facility — to stay in operation. Ryan himself voted for an auto bailout under President George W. Bush that was designed to help GM, but he was a vocal critic of the one pushed through by Obama that has been widely credited with revitalizing both GM and Chrysler.
